A Time-lapse of French Artist JR's Large-scale Pasting in NYC


By New York Times, a time-lapse of French artist JR's large-scale pasting titled "A Walker in New York City":


French artist JR’s photographic oversized street art often deals with human connections, preconceptions, prejudices, media portrayals, and other themes around community and identity. As part of the The New York Times’s Walking New York, he installed a 150-foot-tall image of Elmar Aliyev, a 20-year-old Brooklyn waiter who immigrated to the United States from Azerbaijan.
